TIV
Purpose of the College
is
The State Teachers College at Clarion, Pennsylvania, is
distinctly a professional institution. Its purpose is the prepara-
tion of teachers for the public schools of Pennsylvania. To this
end all its energy is directed. It enrolls only those who desire
to become teachers and who are fitted by character, native
ability, and personality to teach children. The courses offered
are designed to give the general and specific knowledge and
skills which are needed by public-school teachers. The class
work and social life of the college aim to develop responsibility,
poise, assurance, and independence. A well-trained teaching-
staff seeks to inculcate high ideals of teaching and strives to
evolve a sound philosophy of education as well as a thorough
familiarity with the best public-school practice. Through
demonstration and practice teaching in the Training School, the
student develops skill, furthermore, in applying approved edu-
cational theory to actual teaching situations.
HISTORICAL SKETCH
By an Act of the Pennsylvania State Legislature of the
year 1 886, the Counties of Clarion, Forest, Jefferson, McKean,
and Warren were separated from the Eighth Normal School
District and constituted as the Thirteenth Normal School Dis-
trict. Steps were at once taken to organize a normal school.
Contributions and pledges of money, amounting to forty thou-
sand dollars, were obtained for the purpose of securing a suit-
able site and erecting the necessary buildings. This amount was
supplemented by a legislative appropriation of twenty-five
thousand dollars. The grounds and buildings, which had be-
longed to Carrier Seminary, were purchased from the Erie Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church; additional land,
adjoining the original purchase, was obtained, and, in the Fall
of 1 886, work was begun on the erection of two commodious
dormitories. These buildings were completed before the middle
of February of the following year. A committee, representing
the State, officially approved the provisions thus made for
carrying on the work of a normal school, and the institution
was formally opened on the twelfth day of April, 1887. The
12 State Teachers College
vsxe
school continued under the joint control of the State and its
stockholders until February 8, 1916, when the State purchased
the outstanding stock and formally took over the property in
the name of the Commonwealth.
In 1 928, Clarion was granted authority by the State Coun-
cil of Education to confer degrees upon students satisfactorily
completing the new four-year curricula. The degree to be con-
ferred is Bachelor of Science in Education.
The name of the institution was changed from State Nor-
mal School to State Teachers College on May 28, 1929.
LOCATION
The Clarion State Teachers College is situated in Clarion,
Clarion County, one of the most beautiful spots among the hills
of Western Pennsylvania. The town has a population of about
3,200 and is one of the most attractive towns in the State. Its
streets are wide and shaded with magnificent trees; its lawns
are beautiful; its air is clear and invigorating; its surroundings
are pleasant and health-giving. It is situated upon a plateau
overlooking the Clarion River. The College, surrounded by a
well-kept campus, unsurpassed for beauty and attractiveness,
lies upon a slight elevation in the eastern part of the town.
Clarion is located on the Lakes-to-Sea Highway. Thus it
is connected by improved roads with Franklin, Oil City, Brook-
ville, Reynoldsville, DuBois, Clearfield, and Tyrone. Improved
roads are also completed to Pittsburgh by way of East Brady
and Butler as well as to Ridgeway, Kane, Warren, Smethport,
and Port Allegheny.
Motor busses operate over the Lakes-to-Sea Highway be-
tween Franklin and Clarion and between Clarion, Brookville,
and points to the East. A bus line also operates between But-
ler and Clarion, as well as between Kittanning and Clarion,
and connections are made by these lines from all points West.
Clarion may also be reached by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, via Clarion Junction, and by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, via Summerville.
CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS
The Campws of the State Teachers College at Clarion oc-
cupies twenty-three acres. The grounds have been laid out with
care and furnish a beautiful setting for the buildings which
comprise the college plant. The wide lawns with their beautiful
Clarion, Pennsylvania 1)
shade trees and flowering shrubs give the College a restful,
home-like appearance and provide attractive surroundings for
study.
All the buildings of the College are heated by steam,
lighted by electricity, and supplied with all conveniences of
modern living.
J. George Becht Hall, the dormitory for young women, is
one of the finest and most up-to-date college buildings in the
State. It is of the modern Spanish type of architecture, is con-
structed of stone, brick, concrete, and iron, and has a tile roof.
On the upper floors are found accommodations for teachers
and students, with a parlor and trunk rooms on each floor. The
students' rooms are neatly furnished, and have stationary wash-
stands, supplied with hot and cold water. Bathrooms with
shower and plunge baths are found on each floor. Two very
attractive hair-dressing and pressing rooms have been installed,
each equipped with tile floor and plate glass mirrors. Electric
outlets and irons are provided for the use of students. An
elevator in the rear of this building provides for the easy hand-
ling of trunks and heavy baggage. On the first floor are found
parlors, offices, a dining hall with a seating capacity of four
hundred-fifty, a conservatory, two social rooms, the kitchen,
pantry, bakery, etc., as well as the living apartments for the
dietitian. The building was built in 1908.
Seminary Hall, built in 1875, is a large three-story brick
building, originally occupied b>' Carrier Seminary. Here are to
be found the offices, College store, post office, library, large
class rooms, and, on the third floor, a dormitory for men, ac-
commodating forty students.
Music Hall, a two-story brick building, erected in 1 890,
provides, on the first floor, a studio, practice rooms, and in-
struction rooms for the music department. On this floor are
also located the finely appointed rooms of the Dramatic Club,
which serve, too, as a meeting place for the Young Men's
Christian Association. The president's home is on the second
floor of this building.
Founders Hall is a three-story brick structure providing
rooms for laboratories, shops, and offices.
The third floor has been completely remodeled and fitted
up as a dormitory for men. The students' rooms have been re-
decorated and refurnished. Shower baths have been installed,
and the corridor converted into a large comfortable lounsre.

The building, built in 1 894, was named Founders Hall on
April 12, 1930, in memory of the founders of the College.
The Chapel, erected in 1 902, is an attractive stone build-
ing with a seating capacity of six hundred. The stage has been
completely refurnished and provided with complete stage
equipment for the use of dramatic organizations.
The Heating Plant, built in 1 893, is a two-story brick
building. Its boilers on the first floor have a capacity of four-
hundred fifty horse power and provide adequately for the heat-
ing of all buildings as well as for a supply of hot water through-
out the dormitories. The college laundry occupies the second
floor.
The Thaddeus Stevens Training School, erected between
November 23, 1 928, and November 30, 1 929, is built of brick,
tile, concrete, and steel, and contains accommodations for the
first six grades of the public school. Grades one, two, and three
are located on the first floor; grades four, five, and six, on the
second floor. On the first floor are found, too, a demonstration
room and offices as well as a health room; on the second floor
are located, also, rooms for teachers, visual education, read-

what Thaddeus Stevens had done for the public school act of
1834.
The New Gymnasium, erected at a cost of $85,000 dur-
ing the college year 1930-1931, will be ready for the use of

take examinations in county superintendents' offices in all
counties having such students, at the close of the school year.
These examinations will be given under the direction of the
Credentials Bureau of the Department of Public Instruction.
In case of failure, the student, after additional study during the
summer, may take a second examination in August at one of
the Teachers Colleges or at one of the centers where State ex-
aminations are regularly conducted, namely, Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, or Scranton.
Students who complete the work of a four-year high school
with a three-year rating, may take examinations in fourth-year
subjects and thereby receive credit equivalent to that of a
four-year high school; graduates of three-year high schools
with a two-year rating may take examinations in third-year
subjects for credit in three years of approved high-school
work. All inquiries in regard to this matter should be ad-
dressed to the Credentials Bureau, Department of Public In-
struction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Quarterly Reports. For the purpose of reporting the pro-
gress of students, each semester is divided into quarters. At
the end of the first four and one-half weeks, each teacher sub-
mits to the Dean of Instruction a list of the students who are
not doing satisfactory work. These deficiencies are reported
to the students whose names appear on the deficiency list. At
mid-semester each teacher hands to the Dean of Instruction a
grade for each student enrolled in his classes, showing by letter
grade the exact standing of the student at the date of the re-
port. These grades are sent to the students and to the parents
or guardians of the students. Parents who do not receive such
reports, should notify the Dean of Instruction. A duplicate
copy of the report will then be sent. At the third quarter a
report is made similar to the one at the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the semester a permanent grade is recorded for
each student, a copy of which is sent to the students and par-
ents or guardians.
System of Grading. The system of grading of the College
and its interpretation follow: A — very high; B — high; C —
medium; D — very low; E — failure, involving repetition of the
entire course. In the case of student-teaching the grade shall
Clarion, Pennsylvania 23
be recorded as passed or not passed. If a condition is charged
against a student, the extent of work necessary for its removal
must be determined by consulting the teacher in question.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
No student shall be recommended for graduation whose
total quality points do not equal in number the total credit
hours required for graduation. In other words, to be recom-
mended for graduation students must achieve an average
standing of at least C, or one quality point, for their entire
course.
In the determination of quality points, each credit hour
with a grade of A shall equal three quality points; each credit
hour with a grade of B shall equal two quality points; each
credit hour with a grade of C shall equal one quality point;
each credit hour with a grade of D shall equal no quality point.
Students whose failures in any semester or year amount
to six or more semester hours, shall not take all the regular
work of the following semester or year. It is recommended
that such students attend the summer session to make up defi-
ciencies.
A student whose work for a semester averages two quality
points or better, may carry an extra course during the follow-
ing semester.
A student whose work averages less than two quality
points, may repeat a subject as an extra course in order to re-
move a deficiency.
Students shall not do student teaching unless they have
passed in English (1) and (2), nor shall students whose re-
corded or reported failures amount to six or more semester
hours, do such teaching.
Before receiving the final grade in English or arithmetic,
students must equal eighth-grade standards of achievement in
these subjects.
To be eligible for inter-collegiate games, students must
have secured passing grades in at least thirteen semester hours
of work during the quarter, that is, during the nine weeks, pre-
ceding each respective sport.
24 State Teachers College
V8I
Program of Studies
Six curricula are offered by the Pennsylvania State Teachers Col-
leges. These curricula are organized on the principle that teaching in
the public schools can be classified into sufficient definite types to re-
quire specialization. Each curriculum, accordingly, is so organized as
to prepare prospective teachers for specific types of teaching.
The two years of the curricula for Groups I, II, and III are divided
into four semesters. The work of the first semester of the three curricula
is the same. Its primary purpose is to acquaint students with the re-
quirements for successful teaching in the different grades, so that each
student may decide for which grade or grades he is best adapted.
The work of Group IV is divided into eight semesters, and is de-
signed for the preparation of junior-high-school teachers.
The completion of the 68 required semester hours in a two-year
curriculum entitles the student who meets all other legal requirements,
to the Normal School Certificate, which is a valid State license to1 teach
in the elementary schools of the Commonwealth for two years. On the
completion of two years of successful teaching, the Normal School Cer-
tificate is made into the Normal School Diploma, which is a valid life
license to teach in the elementary schools of Pennsylvania.

DEGREE OF B.S. IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
This curriculum will appeal to the forward-looking ambitious
elementary teacher whose highest professional interest lies in the culti-
vation of the best ideals of teaching; to the elementary teacher who
believes that the children in the elementary grades are deserving of
highly trained teachers; to the teacher who hopes to find a larger field
of service through the development of her talents in the. field of super-
vision, and to the supervising official who feels the professional need and
the advantage of a degree in Education.
All persons who have completed the work of Group I, II, or III
(formerly IV), are admitted to third-year standing, provided they have
previously completed the work of a four-year high school. All such
persons must complete 68 hours of work beyond graduation from Group
I, II, or III (formerly IV), as these were organized and administered
prior to September 1, 1926.
All credits for work required at a State Normal School for gradua-
tion between September, 1920, and September, 1926, shall be evaluated
by multiplying the number of semester hours already earned by .85.
The following table applies this ratio to enough typical cases to
illustrate the principle:
Former Semester Hours New Semester Hours
6 —.85— 5.0
1 1 — .85— 9.0
22 —.85— 10.0
36 —.85— 21.0
60 —.85— 51.0
If the decimal is less than .5, it shall be disregarded; if it is .5 or
more, it shall count as a unit.
All persons who were graduated from a State Normal School prior
to September, 1920, and who have had a four-year high school prepa-
ration, cannot be awarded more than 68 semester hours of credit for
their normal school work.
Graduates of the State Normal Schools who have not had four
years of high-school preparation, should apply to the Credentials Bureau,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a high-school equivalent certificate, which
will be accepted by the State Teachers Colleges as equivalent to gradua-
tion from a four-year high school.
No credit for public or private-school teaching experience, previ-
ously credited as high-school equivalent, or as equivalent professional
credit toward graduation, shall be granted or counted toward meeting
the requirements for entrance to, or graduation from, the advanced two-
year curriculum.

their own officers, and plan and conduct their own meetings.
They may freely attend the meetings, and take some part in
the exercises.
The Associations hold a joint reception for new students
each semester, and, as the officers of the Associations are gen-
erally elected from among the members of the higher classes, a
spirit of friendly helpfulness has crystalized into a tradition and
is continued from year to year. The Associations are affiliated
with the national organization of the Young Men's and Young
Women's Christian Associations.
In the Sunday Schools, connected with the various evan-
gelical churches in Clarion, classes have been formed especially
for college students.
44 State Teachers College
Students are urged to make a choice of one of the church-
es in the town for regular attendance and to be present at the
services in the church so selected at least once each Sunday.
Informal Social Life. In many important respects the
Clarion State Teachers College forms a community by itself.
The faculty and students associate freely with one another.
The students thus enjoy the benefits of frequent intercourse
with mature minds outside the class rooms. They are frequent-
ly invited by members of the Faculty to their homes, and are
made to feel that the teachers have an interest in their welfare
beyond the government of the College or the conduct of reci-
tations.
A dean of women devotes her whole time to student inter-
ests and social life. In fact, the students are surrounded by
every possible influence to make life happy, cultured, and
worthwhile.
Lectures and Entertainments. For the benefit of the stu-
dents and the citizens of Clarion, the College provides each
year a series of six or more lectures, or instructive evening en-
tertainments. Payment of Enrollment Fee entitles a student to
admission to the course. Special efforts are made to furnish
entertainments of a high order of merit in order to contribute
to the permanent advantage of the students.
During the year, plays are given by the Dramatic Club,
and entrtainments are provided by other organizations, musical
and literary. Moving pictures, including educational and fea-
ture films, are frequently shown in the Chapel.
Student Councils. Students are treated as young men and
young women and are expected to assume a large share of
their own government. They elect their own councils. These
councils, working with the deans, co-operate in the govern-
ment of the College. A conscious effort is made to have as few
rules and restrictions as consistent with the welfare of a large
group living together.
This plan of student participation has been very satisfac-
tory. The College does not welcome as students young men
or women who will not cheerfully accept and willingly conform
to regulations demanded by the best interests of all.
Art Club. It is the aim of the Art Club to satisfy the
esthetic sense of its members through the appreciation of the
Clarion, Pennsylvania 45
works of great artists as well as through the creation of pro-
ductions of their own.
Athletics. In addition to the required courses in physical
education, men may receive extra-curricular credit for football,
field hockey, volley ball, pin ball, basketball, indoor baseball,
and tennis.
Every student in the College, man or woman, is encour-
aged to engage in athletics. Football, basketball, volley ball,
baseball, soccer, tennis, track, hockey, hiking, skating, and
skiing are popular sports.
The College has five tennis courts on the campus and
keeps them in excellent condition. The new athletic field has
been made one of the very finest in the State and provides for
baseball, football, hockey, soccer, and track and field events.
Athletics are encouraged by the College not only because
of the pleasure afforded to young people, but also because
properly regulated athletics have physical, moral, and educa-
tional values. Through the physical education courses, stu-
dents are given the fundamental knowledge of various sports
and taught how to coach these sports in the public schools.
Boy Scout Organization. Opportunity for training for
leadership in the Boy Scout Movement is given in conjunction
with the local Boy Scout Council. A course in scout leader-
ship is offered in this manner each year.
Children's Literature Club. The Children's Literature
Club interests its members in literature for children. Its activi-
ties include dramatization, reading aloud, picture collections,
and use of lantern slides.
Clarion Call. The Clarion Call records the events in the
life of the College. It is edited and published by the students
and serves as their organ of expression.
College Players. It is the purpose of the members of the
Dramatic Club to study the drama, to learn how to produce
amateur plays, and to participate in the production of school
plays.
Women's Glee Club. The Women's Glee Club is an
organization of twenty-four women students who like to spend
their leisure moments in singing. The Club sings at college
gatherings, and its programs have been broadcast from the
46 State Teachers College
Station at Oil City. It appears also before the students of the
high schools in the college district.
Men's Glee Club. The Men's Glee Club is an organiza-
tion of twenty-four young men who enjoy singing. The Club
sings for its own amusement and the pleasure of others at
college gatherings and elsewhere.
Hostess Clubs. There are two Hostess Clubs at the Col-
lege. Through them the young women are learning how to
invite and receive guests, how to preside at table, and how to
enjoy the amenities of social life.
Press Club. The Press Club was organized to create an
interest in writing. Reports from the best magazines and news-
papers, the biographies of celebrated editors, and modern ten-
dencies in journalism represent the types of subjects presented
for discussion in the meetings. "The Clarion Call" and "The
Sequelle" constitute the chief projects of the organization and
afford practical training in journalistic writing when applied to
school papers and annuals.
Orchestra. The orchestra is voluntary. It affords students
with musical talent an opportunity to indulge in the pleasures
of music in association with others of like talent.
Outdoor Science Club. The Outdoor Science Club en-
deavors to become well acquainted with the out-door life of
the vicinity of Clarion. Among its activities are, week-end trips
to Cook's Forest, where it is building a camp.
Sequelle. The Sequelle is the annual published by the
second-year students of the College. It records the activities
of the College as seen by the student body.
Story Telling Club. The Story Telling Club provides its
members with opportunity to acquire skill in the telling of
stories and to become familiar with the finest stories of all ages.
Travel Club. It is the purpose of the Travel Club to make
home lands more real and to bring distant lands somewhat
closer.
Vested Choir. The Vested Choir sings at the Vesper
Services each Sunday evening. It is voluntary and consists of
over forty students.
Clarion, Pennsylvania 47
THE SUMMER SESSION
The Summer Session is maintained for the benefit of reg-
ular college students as well as for teachers in service. By tak-
ing advantage of the summer session, teachers can secure the
professional training needed to meet the requirements for
standard certification. Advanced courses are offered in the
summer session for the benefit of teachers who desire to do
graduate work, or secure credits toward a degree in education.
The latter phase is becoming more and more popular.
Because of its location and environment, Clarion makes a
strong appeal to those who desire to combine work with recre-
ation during the summer.
CORRESPONDENCE AND EXTENSION
No correspondence work has been given by any Pennsyl-
vania State Teachers College since September 1, 1927, and no
credit toward graduation is given for correspondence work
secured after September I, 1927, except that correspondence
courses, commenced prior to July 1, 192 7, are credited when
completed within the time limits set by the institution giving
the same.
All work completed by extension or correspondence, pre-
vious to September 1, 1927, is credited according to the regu-
lations previously in effect. These regulations are:
a. A maximum of twenty semester hours of credit shall
be allowed for extension and correspondence work in
the two-year curriculum.
b. Extension and correspondence courses shall be of-
fered by regularly appointed full-time teachers of the
State Teachers College.
No more than eighteen semester hours of extension work
shall be credited toward the requirements of the third and
fourth years in a degree curriculum, and this work shall be
limited to the courses specified below:
American Literature 2 semester hours
History of Education 3 semester hours
American Government 3 semester hours
Teaching and Supervision of Arith-
metic 3 semester hours
Civic Education in Elementary
Schools 3 semester hours
48 State Teachers College
vulr
History and Organization of Education
in Pennsylvania 2 semester hours
Educational Psychology 3 semester hours
Supervision and Administration of
Elementary Schools 3 semester hours
Visual Education 1 semester hour
No person who matriculates on or subsequent to Septem-
ber 1, 1926, shall be allowed to offer more than eighteen
semester hours of approved extension work in discharge of the
requirement for the degree.
No credit shall be allowed for extension work in discharge
of the requirements for the regular two-year certificates, the
so-called normal school certificates.
State Teachers Colleges may accept courses completed by
extension in other institutions of collegiate grade, provided
these courses are equivalent to the courses listed above, and
subject to the limitations here provided for extension work;
that is, extension courses will be accepted from other institu-
tions only when such courses are offered by regularly em-
ployed full-time members of a college or university faculty.
Not more than nine semester hours of extension credit
shall be earned or credited within the limits of a college year.
THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC
The school of music offers special instruction in voice,
piano, as well as band and orchestral instruments. The instruc-
tion is given by capable teachers of broad and successful ex-
perience.
At a moderate fee, superior advantages are offered to
ambitious music students. Individual development is stressed,
as well as broad musical training through the participation in
the various ensemble groups.
Clarion offers unusual advantages in its musical organiza-
tions: the Vested Choir, the College Girls' Glee Club, the Col-
lege Men's Glee Club, and the Orchestra.
Students who play instruments are urged to bring them to
college.
Recitals, assemblies, and society and social functions offer
exceptional opportunities for students to appear in public.
Individual instruction in voice, on piano, or other instru-
ments, $1 8.00 per semester for one half-hour lesson per week;
Clarion, Pennsylvania 49
$36.00 for two half-hour lessons per week. The charge for
the use of the piano will be $6.00 per semester.
Individual instruction in harmony will cost the same as
the above.
Class instruction in violin or brass instruments, not less
than four to a class, each student $6.00 per semester.
Students taking less than the work of a semester will be
charged $1.25 per lesson.
The rates for lessons during the Summer Session will be
$6.00. The charge for the use of the piano will be $2.50.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
The Placement Service of the College co-operates with
the Placement Service of the State Department of Public In-
struction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, thus offering additional
facilities for the placement of students and graduates.
The Placement Service assists school officials to secure
competent teachers, and aids teachers to secure suitable posi-
tions in the field of service for which their training best fits
them.
The Placement Service is in charge of C. F. Becker, Direc-
tor of Teacher Training, who answers all inquiries and gives
personal attention to school officials seeking competent teach-
ers.
In order that the Placement Service may serve the inter-
ests of the students to the best advantage, students are re-
quested during the time that they are doing their student teach-
ing, to fill out a Registration Blank, giving personal informa-
tion, such as the grades and subjects which they are prepared
to teach and desire to teach, their preference as to the part of
Pennsylvania in which they would like to teach, their experi-
ence in teaching, and other personal data which superinten-
dents of schools and school boards wish to know about candi-
dates for positions.
The estimate of the College concerning the scholarship
and teaching skill of students is often sought by school officials.
The quality of the work done by students in college courses as
well as in student teaching forms a most important element
in the recommendation of students.
Students after graduation are urged to keep up their con-
tacts with the College, in order that their Alma Mater may
render further service not only in helping them to secure better
positions but to assist them in every way possible.
